Not bad in the beginning but she has got progressively more and more boring. From what I hear, Sabitino is the music prof to go with. She spends to much time going over the lives of the musicians, almost like she was secretly their stalkers.

I liked her teaching methods. She is helpful and i like the way she tells you about the composers.

A great professor - really knows her material and is always willing to explain if someone is confused.

one of my favorite teachers

Really knows her subject and works hard to make the class interesting. Always willing to explain; never makes you feel stupid for asking questions. She does want you to do the work and show up for class.

Well i don't think she is helpful at all and she is quite boring. She will make you feel very stupid when you ask her a question (if she calls on you). As far as helping you outside the class she won't unless you are one of her favorites. Good Luck!

Great teacher; high expectations but gives extra credit, always willing to help.

One of the best teachers I've had.

When you take one of Mary P. Ogletree's real classes, she is tough!

I learned more than I thought I would from an Intro to Music class. It was pretty basic information and once I understood her testing technique, it was pretty easy to get a B. I would recommend her.

She's very kind and the extra credit paper really helps. As a morning class it can be boring but her stories about the composers are interesting. She will help you get a B or A in any way she can. Tests aren't as easy as i thought they would be though.

She is hard when it comes to tests, you have to memorize music and be able to give information about it. Class is sometimes boring, but she works well with it and tries to add in humerous and interesting stories. She is very nice too.

For an intro class, I thought it was a little hard with all of the information she wanted to cover on tests. She is very nice though and will help you if you come to her office hours. Study your notes and also keep up with the book and you should do ok.

Fair, doesn't spoon feed you but gives a written study guide for every test which tells you what you need to know.

Very nice teacher. Easy too. She get's off topic so easy and once she get's going, she's gone! Doesn't give much homework. Quizzes and tests are reasonable. Sometimes gets a little boring and longwinded, but overall is a good teacher.

I thought she was a good teacher; make sure to know everything that she gives you on the study guides and listen to the selections that she says will be on the test. If you review, you'll get an A or B with no problem.

Fair, hard subject but does her best to make it interesting

Good teacher. Cares about her students. If u r trying she will do her best to help.

She knows a lot about Music! Her tests are easy and she is such a nice person.

She tried really hard to get your attention. As long as you pay attention and read over the notes her tests aren't that bad. Listening isn't hard. Do the extra credit paper, it helps and it is not that hard to do. She is very nice and isn't mean or nasty at all. Wonderful prof. TAKE HER :)

Knows her stuff; fair, good teacher

Not my favorite subject, but a good teacher. She is willing to help you if you get lost, and can be really funny at times.

She is wonderful. She knows what she's talking about and she is always more than willing to help you. She is very clear and will explain things again if ANYONE in the class doesn't get it. I'm taking her for all 3 music theory classes if I can!

She's wonderful. She goes over the material slowly and is willing to spend as long as the class needs on it. She grades very fairly and does her best to give you the most points possible. Always willing to help. Great prof, definitely take her if possible

She's a great professor. Very nice. She's very clear with the material and offers help if you need it. Def. take her!

Easiest class I've ever taken. Very nice lady and she's very clear with her lectures.

as long as u go 2 class and take notes u should be fine. shes not the friendliest person tho, she has a major attitude problem and hates 2 answer questions.

she likes 2 tell stories rather than flat out lecture, which is easier. if u dont go 2 class u have no hope in getting a good grade. when she talks about the composers she acts like she knew all of them personally, that gets real annoying. she has an attitude problem but thats prob bc not many people show up 4 class then complain about their grades

teacher is kind of weird. go to class, take good notes, study the listening as much as you can. AND answer questions in class or she'll call you a stoner. ooopsies.

Friendly, knows her music theory, will do a lot to help u if u r willing to work.

Nice, funny, will work with u outside class, great professor

Very helpful. I didn't do well in the pre-req for this class and was nervous coming in. She helped a lot, doesn't take things too seriously, and I ended up with an A.

Great prof. Cares about her students, doesn't pile on homework, you have to go to class, though.

Great professor; one of my favorites. It's a hard class, with tough material, but she takes an easy-going approach. She wants to make sure we all get it.

Knows her subject, cares about the students and about good music, will do her level best to help you get through the course (it's not easy) if you do the work and come to class.

Good teacher. Sometimes funny, fair, knows lots about music.

As a violin teacher, Dr. Ogletree is awesome.

excellent teacher!

She's great!

Really understand theory; goes out of her way to help. Awesome.

She is a wonderful teacher and a great person. She will not leave you behind... unless you insist.

The course isn't easy but she's a great teacher.

Dr. Ogletree is very nice and very helpful. I don't know why anybody doesn't like her. As long as you at least make attempt at her class she will always be willing to help you. She also makes theory very interesting by peppering in lots of stories. Just try not to take her until about 11 am. She hates early classes, but won't take that out on you.

Helpful, knows her stuff!

Dr. Ogletree is amazing! She is very willing to go out of her way to help students. She really is fun :-)

She is an amazing teacher. She will always go out of her way to help her students. She tells stories a lot and really makes the class laugh!

Great teacher. Caring, funny, knows what she's talking about.

Very friendly professor! Liked her a lot. With all the extra credit, I ended up with a big fat A+. Homework was useful!

Knows the subject, explains everything well, and sometimes tells the best stories. Her class isn't easy but she's fair, and will work with you to make sure you understand.

Great teacher; knows the material, grades papers by the next class so you always know where you stand.

Dr. Ogletree puts a lot of effort into making sure her students understand the material. There is almost always an assignment...do the work, and you'll get through the class just fine.

Really good teacher; asks lots of questions, tries to help you find the answers for yourself. Knows theory inside and out. Do the assignments and go to class though!

Friendly, very willing to help! Makes sure we understand new material; reviews before exams. Homework counts a lot toward your grade so be sure you do it, and you'll be fine.

Great professor, knows her stuff, can be pretty funny, cares.

She makes every effort to make sure you understand. Do the homework and ask questions, and you'll do well. Great teacher.

Fair, often funny, knows the material inside and out. Take her.

Really cares about students. Makes a point of returning papers at the next class so you learn from mistakes. Won't leave you behind unless you blow off class and don't try. GOOD teacher.

Great teacher. You do have to show up and do the assignments, but she will work with you, clarify, and give you extra time and help.

Don't show up, don't do the work, don't pass. If you make an effort, she is a great teacher!

If you work hard, she will too. great teacher, nice person.

Dr. Ogletree is a very competent teacher and really knows the material. Her lectures are fun because she will go tell stories to make a point or an analogy. I am going to take her again. (P.S. I found the class easy, but some people had trouble with it. There were about as many A's and B's as there were D's and F's.)

Returns papers right away. Is happy to answer questions. Clear, often funny, great teacher.

Great prof.

Great violin teacher!

Dr. Ogletree is the best professor you would ever want to meet. She gives great lectures. She teaches so well that 3/4 of the class were getting A's or B's on her tests.

Great teacher. I'd take her again if I could.

Prepared, organized, clear and funny. My favorite prof.
